    Just for reference, this is how you fix the ability to automatically open LMI client from LMI links without having to click open...

     

    Credit to BrettRoderick for getting me in the right direction.

    For Edge Chromium
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]
    "ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox"=dword:00000001
    For Chrome
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]
    "ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox"=dword:00000001

Creating this key will restore the functionality with Chrome 79+

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]
"ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox"=dword:00000001

    I just checked two of my computers and neither of them have Google folder under HKLM\Software\Policies\ and Chrome is installed on both of them.

      You will need to create it:

       

      Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]
      "ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox"=dword:00000001

        No luck on adding that registry key. I am using Edge Chromium if that matters. Would I need to make the key for Chromium instead? Any chance you can screenshot what you have under the Chromium key?

         

        I just tested this under Chrome after adding the entry and now it has the checkbox when first running the LMI client. It did not work before the registry entry was added, so I know I am on the right  path.
